Gloucester Privatunterkünfte

This is a functional little hotel that is close to the train station. Don't expect luxury, but you can expect friendly and warm service, and a spacious room. The reason I booked this hotel was due to the rail strikes. I was on a business trip and meant to be taking the train to London that evening but wasn't able to. Furthermore, it was the Cheltenham races and all the other places had already been booked out. This room was a lifesaver for me. I was exhausted from an intense itinerary and needed a place to sleep and freshen up. I was pointed to the supermarket close by. As there were all the cutlery and even a microwave in the room, I had no issues rustling up a hot meal for myself. I am giving this hotel a high rating because the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I just want to make it very clear that guests need to understand this is not a fancy establishment designed for holidaying, but if you are travelling for work purposes, this will come close to being home away from home.

The hotel itself was lovely, room was great, except for the hairdryer, which didn't work. When we went down to breakfast I mentioned it to the receptionist/waiter, and he said 'Yes it plays up sometimes'. The coffee was cold. I asked for poached eggs, but he said the stand in chef didn't know how to make them. When the food arrived I asked for cutlery and he pointed to the far end of the room. There were 7 of us in the room but only 4 serviettes. I had to ask for the toast and was told it was still cooking, but when it arrived it was cold and 2 slices between us, 1 of which was the crust.. Suggest you go out for breakfast.
